+Us 4 and Jess Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Moss Trooper was one of the first UK geocachers and started caching in March 2001. He was one of the first UK reviewers, and he persuaded TPTB that the UK needed their own reviewers, and he helped to sort out the original UK guidelines for caching. He also helped to set up the GAGB. All in all he has done a huge amount to help caching in the UK. Moss attends all the local meets, usually with Trubear his faithfully little Teddy Bear and on his rusty steed (he caches on a quad) and holds meets of his own, he always makes us all laugh and is a great bloke to know. (He helped me loads with the calendars last year too) Anyway to cut a long story short after caching for 6 years, YES 6 YEARS he has finally made it to 200 caches, YES 200 CACHES IN SIX YEARS, he's getting on you know (sorry Moss LOL) HUGE CONGRATULATIONS FROM US MOSS ON 200 CACHES......YOUR THE MAN Mandy Quote

+jerryo Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I don't usually post on congrats threads either – hey here's an idea: why not have just one such thread???? – but here's a well done to MT. I think we lost the quiz again BTW, we left before all the excitement happened as I had my swerving wench to get home. Quote
Deceangi Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Well done mate little did I know when I saw the original article that I'd be following in your footsteps Quote
+The Wombles Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Now that really is worth celebrating. Well done Moss Quote
+The Northumbrian Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Well done MT, your the one that got us into caching and your caches were the very first in our neck of the woods come to think of it, Did JasonW not hide one in your wheelie bin? got to meet u a few times and not forgetting Poppy UK of course( enjoyed the crack)me and marg are ourselves a bit knackered at the moment and cant get out much, but hopefully might do a few this year. congrats to you and her indoors Nige and Marg Quote
Lactodorum Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Me? In a congrats thread? With my reputation? It was thanks to Moss that I got involved in this reviewing lark so you know who to blame. Congratulations to you Moss Trooper (although I think that you'll find Moss T is actually a newbie compared to this reprobate) However I would agree that he's done an awful lot for UK caching, good on yer! Quote
+John Stead Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Another congrats thread! But one I am happy to add to as Moss has done a lot to encourage a lot of us going back rather a long time. Thanks Moss and here's to the next ones . . .. Quote
+G Force Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Well done Moss on a an achievement that pales in significance to your other geocaching contributions. First met up with you at our first event down in Winchester just after we started and were thrilled to meet someone from up north and last saw you a couple days ago. Slow but steady as the saying goes but's great to see you are still active with it and here's to the next 200 in 6 years time. Quote
